Official returns from only ten counties have yet been received at the Secretary of State's office. Counting in the usual way, the vote of Columbus at the late election indicates a population of about 46,000. The new constitution of' Arkansas is adopted by about 75,000 majority. The Democratic State ticket runs nearly even with the constitution. &t , We should like to know how much the New York agent of the Associated Press receives for advertising Strakosch and others, and how soon he intends to send their share of the money to the newspapers into which he injects the advertising. The Board of Managers of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, at Xenia, began taking testimony in reference to the charges against Superintendent Jenner Thursday. By a vote of the Board reporters were excluded and the examination conducted in secret session. One of the defeated candidates is anxiously looking for a situation somewhere as Mutual Friend. By economy and strict attention to business he thinks he can amass seven thousand dollars in three years, if he can find a man with an ideal home and a friend who wishes he were dead. Among all the wreck of matter and crush of worlds, the lopping and cutting and bolting, it is comforting to know that the neit Congress will not be left without Cox. The Sixth District, which would as soon drink water as elect a Kepublican, has nominated S. S. Cox, and that genial little rooster will be sure to go in. A special dispatch from Hilliard, this county, stating that a lawyer of that village had been burned in effigy Tuesday evening, has been attributed to O. Sells esq., of Hilliard, as its author. We are requested by Mr. Sells to Bay that he had nothing whatever to do with thedispatch, and neither wrote nor inspired it. "Every Saturday" has been merged with Littell's Living Age. The Age has beaten out every competitor in its pecu liar field the republication of choice collections from foreign magazines for more than thirty years. It now remains sole occupant of (hat field. All serials left uncompleted in Every Saturday will be finished in the Age. This afternoon there is to be a mar riage solemnized in Barnum's balloon, at Cincinnati. The bride, groom, attendants and clerevman will ascend, under the management of Professor Donaldson, and the marriage is to take place at the high est altitude whether of bliss or not, remains to be seen. The bride and groom are prominent attaches of the hippO' drome. The clamor for more money seems to be a clamor of the politicians. Of the fiftyfour millions of National Bank currency authorized by the redistribution ant of July 12, 1870, about three millions lies yet in the Treasury unasked for by the banks. The State of Missouri has not claimed her full quota by more than half a million, and other Western States have probably been equally negligent of their opportunity to replenish what is repre sented to be a depleted money market. The following States will elect State officers and Congressmen November 3 Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wiscon sin. Arizona, Idaho and Washington territories elect delegates to Congress the same date. South Carolina will choose county officers October 21. The Prayer Uaag e. Yesterday's Cincinnati Commercial. We' are unable to congratulate the crusaders on the prospect of the passage of a law by the Legislature to suppress the retail traffic in intoxicating liquors. Not only has no progress been made in that direction, but the party that claimed to be the friend of the temperance cause par tzctUenet, seems to have received a blow well nigh mortal. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, beinc con fined to her house in this city by cirrous exhaustion, will be unable to be in attendance at the ceremonies at Springfield to day in honor of the memory of her distinguished husband. She has been eon-fined to her room for the past five months by a severe illness, from which she is just now slowly recovering.

It costs $400,000 to transport Cleopatra's Needle from Egypt to Paris. ThbI Paris Directory contains the addresses of 1000 restaurants and about 10,000 cafes. China has streets paved with granite blocks laid over 300 years ago, as good as new. The contractors are dead. This is the latest form of wedding invitations: "Come around and see me capture a mother-in-law at eight o'clock sharp. There are three things in this world that should not be trifled with an un loaded gun, a woman's opinion of herself and the business end of a wasp. A society paper asserts that American ladies are getting in the labit of sleeping in their corsets to keep their 6gureB good. Those American ladies will soon sleep in the valley. Thanksgiving hint. Charcoal is rec ommended for fattening turkeys. It should be pulverized and mixed with mashed potatoes and corn meal, as well as fed to them in small lumps. There was a young woman named Hannah, who behaved in a frivolous manner: while her pa stood in prayer, she put tacks in his chair; which he sal on, and cus sed his Hannah.

If our name was Qneen Victoria and the Prince of Wales asked us to pay $3,000,000 indebtedness for betting, gam bling, and drinking, my, how we'd look at that young man from the corner of our eye! . "In Paris," says a Louisiana paper, "they call gray hairs 'a little dust from the road of life.' " If that is what they say when a man is gray-neaaea, wnai don't they say when a man is bald- headed ? Mrs. Sartoris will return to the White House this winter as the guest of her mother. Colonel Fred Grant and his bride will also, it is said, spend much of their time there during the approaching season. The last of the straw-hat brigade are occasionally to be met with along the streets, and the battered-up and demoral ized head-coveringR displayed by Borne of them are cause for much merriment. Shoot that hat I" Small, ragged, barefooted boy to gallus colored gent with a valise "Say, boss, Bhall I carry your Batchel for you ?"

It is innocent coun terfeiting; and he prefers to be called somebody rather than have your fingers snapped at him. One seems a kindly, the other a contemptuous act. A lady lately remarked to a well- known ProfesBor, whose services she had just engaged : " You will be pleased with my daughter as a pupil, I feel sure ; she is exceedingly clever, and has such a nice, heavy touch for sacred music," There is an old Indian in Kansas who is as good a weather prophet as Old Probs. When asked the other day what the weather would be during the next week, he replied : "Mebbe snow; mebbe heap dam hot. Better wait a lillie while, you bet." Miss HeilbroN, the new prima donna, is said to blush like a "school girl." This must be a comparison derived from En glish examples, as American school girls find it such a trouble to bhiBh that they have very sensibly abandoned the busi ness. " Show me a radical, gentlemen," said a politician, " and I'll show you a liar." " I sir, am one," exclaimed a ready op- ponent. " Just come round the corner, was the reply, " and I'll show you a fel- low who said I couldn't find a radical in the ward." "A New York State woman owns five acres of peppermint meadow."

Mr. Spuroeon. the famous London preacher, recently baptized his twin sons. One of them is in mercantile business, and the other is Btudying to be an artist. They are eighteen years of age, and their father is hopeful of seeing them both in the ministry some day. Much depends upon the way in which things are stated. For example, in one of our Western exchanges an account of a steamer accident is given, in which the reporter says: "The only passengers were T. B. Nathan, who owned three- fourths of the cargo, and the captain's wife. Every fashionable woman in Paris hangs to her belt an alms-bag, a fan, card-case, a pocket-book, an umbrella, turnip-watch, a pin-cushion, some ivory tablet and a little mirror. And the sons of these women are expected to knock the nonsense out or Uermany some day. Courier-Journal. The Cincinnati Gazette, referring to the report that General Sherman is to place his two youngest daughters at a re ligious educational establishment at Bead' ing, Ohio, goes on to say there is Notre Dame Academy at reading. Despite th positive and shockingly profane denial by Deacon smith, we are informed there u an Academy at that place. Wath. Star. W Euros has walked one hundred miles a day, and that is a great achievement. If he will only start at the High Bridge, with his face toward Canada, and walk ene hundred miles a day and keep at it, we shall regard him as the greatest success of modern time. He may take Sergeant Bates with him to carry a flag. iV. Y. World. A woman at New London, Conn., saw her husband carrying a lady's satchel, and she tore the lady's dress off before discovering that it was her mother, who had dropped down on the evening train to surprise her. Every husband in the land who is out evenings should read this little item to his wife and hold up the dangers of her becoming suspicious without the best of. cause. We are not only not in favor of free trade, which is an absurdity, but we are in favor of doubling the tariff, if that will save our suffering manufacturers. The Radical party has had unchecked control for fifteen years, and why did it ignore the interests ot Pennsylvania ana our industries to languish ana perish ? Why don't our organs answer this question ? Uarrisiuro Patriot (Dero.) A couple of Irish lads, wishing to ob tain a little pocket-money, determined to go into the country during harvest time and work among the farmers. "Can you cradle?" asked the farmer. Now, an Irishman in search of work was never known to confess ignorance of anything, but the question was a perplexer. The boys looked at each other lor a suggestion. No use. At length Dennis, looking boldly at the farmer, said : "Of course we can cradle, but couldn't ye give us a job outdoors?" In an article on the game found in the Virginia mountains, the Lynchburg News says : in tbis wild ana dismal scope oi country there are many wild hogs, which do not hesitate to attack the traveler, and they are without doubt the most danger ous denizens ot the mountains, iney are usually found in herds of from five to twelve, and the sight of a human being is the ouly signal for attack that they re in re. llie intruder Has then nothing left him but to out-run them, or climb a tree and wait for them to leave." Efforts at retrenchment in the Treas ury Department have revealed some queer facts. The rule is that as soon as the female clerks employed there are married, they must resign their places so as to leave room for less fortunate sisters. But Borne of them a score or more have been getting over this difficulty after marriage by not reporting the happy event. The result ib that several matrons, some with a goodly number of children, are known only in the Department by their maiden names, which they still continue to sign. The annual report of the Western Union Telegraph company indicates, along with the growth of its business, an increase of its usefulness to the public. There are 448 more telegraph offices in operation than there were a year ago, and 5800 miles of poles and 21,204 miles of wire have been added. Purchase and lease from other telegraph companies are, however, included in these figures. The increase in the business of money orders by telegraph is 40 per cent. Some improvements in instruments have been suc cessfully introduced. If you want to Bee how beautiful your wife looks when she's angry, suggest that the young lady who lives across the street, and who always Bits at the window with her forefinger pressed to her temple and a pensive smile on her face while you're smoking your evening cigar, is the handsomest woman you ever saw. Take care that vour head isn t out of the window when you make the remark. This was the situation with Mr. Kpell backer the other evening. Ihe window came down bo rapidly that he hadn't time to get all his head in, and he don't look well Mu scat ped. Lieutenant Fitch and bride arrived in tbis city Saturday, and were the guests of Mrs. Colonel Steele during their stay here. A reception was given in their honor on Monday afternoon, and the number of callers was exceedingly large. rs.

Laneaiter uatette. The Fathers of Pittsbirg, Pa., in their great wisdom recently ordained that noth ing should be sold upon the sidewalks of that city. The law was really aimed at those two great articles of pedestrian consumption, peanuts and soda water; but its phraseology was such that the Pittsburg shop-keepers were driven indoors with a vengeance. Ail the usual temptations to purchase must be hidden. The grocer can make no display of his boxes and bar rels: the butcher must withdraw Irom sight the fat pigs and the fine legs of mut ton; and the ready-made doming man must no loneer exhibit fall suits on a dummy, to be sold for "$22;" while the shoemaker, with tears in his eyes, must take in the glass cases full or beautnul "Misses" and morocco "infants."

New York Republic An announcement is current which will awaken many thoughts of pride, of regret, and of affectionate reminiscence, Charlotte Cushman is to appear once again on the stage for a few nights only and then to pass away, and.proleseion ally, to be seen no more. Once again we shall look upon her in Lady Macbeth, in Uueen Catharine, and In Meg Alerrines ; and then the little bell of the prompter will tinkle for the last time, the green curtain will sweep reluctantly down to the footlights, and all that will remain, to the public, oi America s greatest tragic actress will be a tradition. . The Bine Blood of Vlrclnl. Washington Letter to Commercial. Just now Washington's literary world is bnsily engaged in pouring over an hn glish hook imported bv Mohun, booksell er, containing a list of those exiled to this country from 1622 to 1700. The F.F.Vs. of Virginia don't make a good showing the f auntelroyi were convicts, tne Mason pert sold for a term of years, and Mason ure a "servant wench; the Leighs were transported for sheep-stealing, and the Lees convicts. It made us shudder to read of the ancestors of the blue bloods of Virginia. Boston's aristocracy are but little better, and some day when we are at leisure we will tell of the Otis, Wintnrop- Ureble foreratners. John Mitchel arrived at New York from Ireland Thursday.

There were two indictments brought in by the grand jury yesterday for lascivious cohabitation, and it is eenerallv believed they were against Brigham Young and G. L. Cannon, late candidate for Congress. No suits have been made, however, and the Clerk of the Court states that no person is authorized to five any information in regard to it. It is known, however, that the evidence of these parties was being taken by the grand jury. The grand iurv were lectured this morning as to their duty of. secrecy and threatened with punishment by the Judge if discovered disclosing the proceedings of the court. This was no doubt called for from the fact that the officers had been hunting- for the" wives of George Q. Cannon as witnesses, but his residence was locked and every one absent. It is stated that George has also absented him self to escape the United States Marshal. Weather Probabilities. Washington. Oct. 16.

LANCASTER FAIR. Tbe Third Day or the Exhibition.A Very Largo Attendance and a General Good TimeSpecial Features Premiums on MorseiThe Baeea. The Fairfield County Fair is a splendid success. It has already been described in a general way in this paper ; there is of course no material change in the exhibition to be noted. Yesterday there was a a tremendous crowd present, the receipts at one o'clock in the afternoon being'as large as tbe entire receipts on the corresponding day of last year. The rush did not confuse the excellent management. Everything worked harmoniously, and to the best interests of patrons, under tbe di rection of the following named gentlemen as officers : President J. C. Kinkead. Vice President A. B. Gillett. Treasurer W. M. Noble. Secretary J. G. Reeves. Directors Samuel Dum, Charles Fores- man, Joseph Pickering, John Gill, Sam uel K. Valentine, Isaac Claypool, Kobert L. Sharp, H. A. MartinB, J. E. Court- right, Henry Langle, George Ashbaugb, John A. Fetters, Philip Bauman. The weather was very hne yesterday, and the grounds were thronged from morning till night. The horse ring, where there was a constant exhibition, was nn attractive point, and two grand stands were densely populated. The mammoth hall was also crowded. Mr. H. F. Peters, the gunsmith of Lancaster, has on exhibition a case of guns and revolvers finished and mounted in superb style. Ihe particular leature of his interesting display is the Convert ible Breech-loading tlouble Barreled Shot Gun, patented recently by himself, and very sure to come rapidly into popularity with gunners, u is a periect oreecu-loader, and with a rod attached, loose amunition can be used when a gunner is out of shell, or altogether if desired. As an important invention, it is deserving of a nrst premium, out no premium nas been offered in this line. Mr. Peters is entitled to credit foradding so materially to the excellent display of Fine Art Hall. Sears, Mahoney & Co. have on the grounds a display of their own work in tbe carriage line tbat deserves more man ordinary notice. Their carriages and buggies are very stylish vehicles and made of tbe best possible material. A sleigh just finished by this firm was certainly one ot the nioBt elegant things in its way that we have seen. It is built in the very perfection of shape and model and ex-anisitelv cushioned with scarlet plush. We learn that one of our Columbus liv ery men purchased this fine Bleigh on sight.

The desire to "settle up" is therefore apparent among all debtors, but more particularly those from the interior.

To the Editor of the Ohio Btate Journal: At the Board of Trade meeting on inursday evening the committee on Transportation was instructed to confer with the officers of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis rail way, "Bee Line," to see if a passenger or mixed train could not be run between Gal-ion and Columbus, so as to reach this city some time in the morning between the hours of eight o clock and noon. This would enable merchants on that line to come to Columbus to do some of their trading, and be a benefit to both them and the business men of this citv People ask. "What is the use of a Board of Trade in Columbus?-" The above is an example of just what ought to be ac complished bv such an organization, and if business men will lend their support, its influence would be felt in all branches of trade in just such cases as this, where tbe interests of our city are discriminated against to the great advantage of another city. Let the Board be sustained anoall causes of complaint be brought before it and discussed by business men. and then intelligent and unanimous action can be taken in the premises.

Official returns from only ten counties have yet been received at the Secretary of State's office. Counting in the usual way, the vote of Columbus at the late election indicates a population of about 46,000. The new constitution of' Arkansas is adopted by about 75,000 majority. The Democratic State ticket runs nearly even with the constitution. &t , We should like to know how much the New York agent of the Associated Press receives for advertising Strakosch and others, and how soon he intends to send their share of the money to the newspapers into which he injects the advertising. The Board of Managers of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, at Xenia, began taking testimony in reference to the charges against Superintendent Jenner Thursday. By a vote of the Board reporters were excluded and the examination conducted in secret session. One of the defeated candidates is anxiously looking for a situation somewhere as Mutual Friend. By economy and strict attention to business he thinks he can amass seven thousand dollars in three years, if he can find a man with an ideal home and a friend who wishes he were dead. Among all the wreck of matter and crush of worlds, the lopping and cutting and bolting, it is comforting to know that the neit Congress will not be left without Cox. The Sixth District, which would as soon drink water as elect a Kepublican, has nominated S. S. Cox, and that genial little rooster will be sure to go in. A special dispatch from Hilliard, this county, stating that a lawyer of that village had been burned in effigy Tuesday evening, has been attributed to O. Sells esq., of Hilliard, as its author. We are requested by Mr. Sells to Bay that he had nothing whatever to do with thedispatch, and neither wrote nor inspired it. "Every Saturday" has been merged with Littell's Living Age. The Age has beaten out every competitor in its pecu liar field the republication of choice collections from foreign magazines for more than thirty years. It now remains sole occupant of (hat field. All serials left uncompleted in Every Saturday will be finished in the Age. This afternoon there is to be a mar riage solemnized in Barnum's balloon, at Cincinnati. The bride, groom, attendants and clerevman will ascend, under the management of Professor Donaldson, and the marriage is to take place at the high est altitude whether of bliss or not, remains to be seen. The bride and groom are prominent attaches of the hippO' drome. The clamor for more money seems to be a clamor of the politicians. Of the fiftyfour millions of National Bank currency authorized by the redistribution ant of July 12, 1870, about three millions lies yet in the Treasury unasked for by the banks. The State of Missouri has not claimed her full quota by more than half a million, and other Western States have probably been equally negligent of their opportunity to replenish what is repre sented to be a depleted money market. The following States will elect State officers and Congressmen November 3 Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wiscon sin. Arizona, Idaho and Washington territories elect delegates to Congress the same date. South Carolina will choose county officers October 21. The Prayer Uaag e. Yesterday's Cincinnati Commercial. We' are unable to congratulate the crusaders on the prospect of the passage of a law by the Legislature to suppress the retail traffic in intoxicating liquors. Not only has no progress been made in that direction, but the party that claimed to be the friend of the temperance cause par tzctUenet, seems to have received a blow well nigh mortal. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, beinc con fined to her house in this city by cirrous exhaustion, will be unable to be in attendance at the ceremonies at Springfield to day in honor of the memory of her distinguished husband.

When asked the other day what the weather would be during the next week, he replied : "Mebbe snow; mebbe heap dam hot. Better wait a lillie while, you bet." Miss HeilbroN, the new prima donna, is said to blush like a "school girl." This must be a comparison derived from En glish examples, as American school girls find it such a trouble to bhiBh that they have very sensibly abandoned the busi ness. " Show me a radical, gentlemen," said a politician, " and I'll show you a liar." " I sir, am one," exclaimed a ready op- ponent.

They are eighteen years of age, and their father is hopeful of seeing them both in the ministry some day. Much depends upon the way in which things are stated. For example, in one of our Western exchanges an account of a steamer accident is given, in which the reporter says: "The only passengers were T. B. Nathan, who owned three- fourths of the cargo, and the captain's wife. Every fashionable woman in Paris hangs to her belt an alms-bag, a fan, card-case, a pocket-book, an umbrella, turnip-watch, a pin-cushion, some ivory tablet and a little mirror. And the sons of these women are expected to knock the nonsense out or Uermany some day. Courier-Journal.

A woman at New London, Conn., saw her husband carrying a lady's satchel, and she tore the lady's dress off before discovering that it was her mother, who had dropped down on the evening train to surprise her. Every husband in the land who is out evenings should read this little item to his wife and hold up the dangers of her becoming suspicious without the best of. cause. We are not only not in favor of free trade, which is an absurdity, but we are in favor of doubling the tariff, if that will save our suffering manufacturers. The Radical party has had unchecked control for fifteen years, and why did it ignore the interests ot Pennsylvania ana our industries to languish ana perish ? Why don't our organs answer this question ? Uarrisiuro Patriot (Dero.) A couple of Irish lads, wishing to ob tain a little pocket-money, determined to go into the country during harvest time and work among the farmers. "Can you cradle?" asked the farmer. Now, an Irishman in search of work was never known to confess ignorance of anything, but the question was a perplexer. The boys looked at each other lor a suggestion. No use. At length Dennis, looking boldly at the farmer, said : "Of course we can cradle, but couldn't ye give us a job outdoors?" In an article on the game found in the Virginia mountains, the Lynchburg News says : in tbis wild ana dismal scope oi country there are many wild hogs, which do not hesitate to attack the traveler, and they are without doubt the most danger ous denizens ot the mountains, iney are usually found in herds of from five to twelve, and the sight of a human being is the ouly signal for attack that they re in re. llie intruder Has then nothing left him but to out-run them, or climb a tree and wait for them to leave." Efforts at retrenchment in the Treas ury Department have revealed some queer facts. The rule is that as soon as the female clerks employed there are married, they must resign their places so as to leave room for less fortunate sisters. But Borne of them a score or more have been getting over this difficulty after marriage by not reporting the happy event. The result ib that several matrons, some with a goodly number of children, are known only in the Department by their maiden names, which they still continue to sign. The annual report of the Western Union Telegraph company indicates, along with the growth of its business, an increase of its usefulness to the public. There are 448 more telegraph offices in operation than there were a year ago, and 5800 miles of poles and 21,204 miles of wire have been added. Purchase and lease from other telegraph companies are, however, included in these figures. The increase in the business of money orders by telegraph is 40 per cent.

The Acting Secretary of the Interior to-day received the report of James Moore, of New Jersey, John L. Merriom, of Minnesota, and John G. Delano, of Ohio, commissioners appointed to examine whether the deficiencies in the construction of the Union Pacific railway as reported by the commission of eminent citizens appointed by Secretary Cox under aot of Congress of April 10, 1869, have been supplied, and the road completed as required by said report. The present commissioners' examination was commenced on the 25th of September, and completed on the 5th in stant, ana tney uiaiui tu unva iuouo it thoroughly and in detail. The commissioners find from personal examination and from data furnished by the company, that the expenditure required by the former commission in finishing bridges, in replacing high trestles by filling with earth, etc., were finally completed in September, 1874, and they nave tnereiore decided that the company has complied with its charter and with the requirements of law. The report is signed by all three of the commissioners. It will require the approval of the President and formal acceptance of the road as a complete structure, before patents will issue for the land grants. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE JUDGE CURTIS. At an adjourned meeting of the bar of the U. a. supreme Court held to-day, Judge Campbell presiding, a series of resolutions was adopted in testimony of the great affection and esteem forjudge B.B.

They commemorate his fidelity to society, to government, to -religion, and to truth. All these traits, indicating duty as the rule of his life, the bar presents to living lawyers and succeeding generations for their sincerest homage.

There were two indictments brought in by the grand jury yesterday for lascivious cohabitation, and it is eenerallv believed they were against Brigham Young and G. L. Cannon, late candidate for Congress. No suits have been made, however, and the Clerk of the Court states that no person is authorized to five any information in regard to it. It is known, however, that the evidence of these parties was being taken by the grand jury. The grand iurv were lectured this morning as to their duty of. secrecy and threatened with punishment by the Judge if discovered disclosing the proceedings of the court.

LANCASTER FAIR. Tbe Third Day or the Exhibition.A Very Largo Attendance and a General Good TimeSpecial Features Premiums on MorseiThe Baeea. The Fairfield County Fair is a splendid success. It has already been described in a general way in this paper ; there is of course no material change in the exhibition to be noted. Yesterday there was a a tremendous crowd present, the receipts at one o'clock in the afternoon being'as large as tbe entire receipts on the corresponding day of last year. The rush did not confuse the excellent management. Everything worked harmoniously, and to the best interests of patrons, under tbe di rection of the following named gentlemen as officers : President J. C. Kinkead. Vice President A. B. Gillett. Treasurer W. M. Noble. Secretary J. G. Reeves. Directors Samuel Dum, Charles Fores- man, Joseph Pickering, John Gill, Sam uel K. Valentine, Isaac Claypool, Kobert L. Sharp, H. A. MartinB, J. E. Court- right, Henry Langle, George Ashbaugb, John A. Fetters, Philip Bauman. The weather was very hne yesterday, and the grounds were thronged from morning till night. The horse ring, where there was a constant exhibition, was nn attractive point, and two grand stands were densely populated. The mammoth hall was also crowded. Mr. H. F. Peters, the gunsmith of Lancaster, has on exhibition a case of guns and revolvers finished and mounted in superb style. Ihe particular leature of his interesting display is the Convert ible Breech-loading tlouble Barreled Shot Gun, patented recently by himself, and very sure to come rapidly into popularity with gunners, u is a periect oreecu-loader, and with a rod attached, loose amunition can be used when a gunner is out of shell, or altogether if desired. As an important invention, it is deserving of a nrst premium, out no premium nas been offered in this line. Mr. Peters is entitled to credit foradding so materially to the excellent display of Fine Art Hall. Sears, Mahoney & Co. have on the grounds a display of their own work in tbe carriage line tbat deserves more man ordinary notice. Their carriages and buggies are very stylish vehicles and made of tbe best possible material. A sleigh just finished by this firm was certainly one ot the nioBt elegant things in its way that we have seen. It is built in the very perfection of shape and model and ex-anisitelv cushioned with scarlet plush. We learn that one of our Columbus liv ery men purchased this fine Bleigh on sight. Five first premiums were taken by this firm, one each on every article enter ed by them. Enough honor for one day we should think. The splendid Knabe Piano in the dis play of Mr. J. P. Miller, of Lancaster, at the north end or fine Art Hall, was an immense attraction. Its grand tones re sounded through the building with telling effect, and held a throng constantly in its vicjnity. The famous Prince Organ, and many other beautilul musical instrii ments, were in the collection of Mr. Miller, who is an extensive dealer, and popu lar with Lancastrians. premiums. Awarding committees were busy at work all day yesterday. The great crowds in the big hall retarded tbe work of the committees there, in the horse department premiums were awarded as follows Hornet. .

Trade has without doubt been dull be yond all expectation thus far this fall and the margin of profit at the best only fair, but to the very cause of this dullness is traceable one of the most healthy fea tures oi me position, we reler to the cautious hand-to-mouth policy adopted by nearly all classes of buyers, orders being based on a olose calculation of actual wants and ability to meet indebtedness at maturity, prudence Beeming to dictate a dozen duplications of purchases rather than the making up of immense invoices with no positive assurance that tbe distribution would be rapid enough to provide means for settlement when due. A gradual straightening out and cancella tion ot book accounts has also been going on for some time, and the indications favor the belief that the year will close on an unusually small line "of bad debts. The recent bountiful harvests muBt put money into the bands of tbe producer, which passing from him to the local mer chant, thence to the jobber, finally reaches our wholesale dealers, manufacturers and importers. The desire to "settle up" is therefore apparent among all debtors, but more particularly those from the interior. Taken altogether the business outlook, if not remarkably brilliant, shows no de cided reason for alarm, and it is possible tbat with the increased railroad facilities and probable reasonable freight tariff's a lair movement oi goods into the interior may continue all winter.

To the Editor of the Ohio Btate Journal: At the Board of Trade meeting on inursday evening the committee on Transportation was instructed to confer with the officers of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis rail way, "Bee Line," to see if a passenger or mixed train could not be run between Gal-ion and Columbus, so as to reach this city some time in the morning between the hours of eight o clock and noon. This would enable merchants on that line to come to Columbus to do some of their trading, and be a benefit to both them and the business men of this citv People ask. "What is the use of a Board of Trade in Columbus?-" The above is an example of just what ought to be ac complished bv such an organization, and if business men will lend their support, its influence would be felt in all branches of trade in just such cases as this, where tbe interests of our city are discriminated against to the great advantage of another city. Let the Board be sustained anoall causes of complaint be brought before it and discussed by business men. and then intelligent and unanimous action can be taken in the premises.
